NOW THIS IS A BLOG POST!

so the following is a post about that one time when i walked 150 blocks in one day.

i know! let's not waste any more time getting to it!

it all started because brandon had to work on saturday, and you know how that goes. huck and i sort of scratched our heads at each other like, well? what do you even do on a saturday with no brandon? pretend it's another friday?

so we went and got pizza.

this post is such a masterpiece already!

we sat at our little table in the corner and i blew on henny's slice to cool it down. and then i became aware of a fantastic conversation happening at the table of nine year old boys just behind us...

"a toast to london!" one was saying. 

"yes! to london!" said the other one.

then, "cheers!" they both said together.

i imagined giant pizza slices combining in brotherly union and i about died dead.

i handed huck his bit of pizza and stole a little glance behind me. we're talking nerdy boys here. the nerdiest. glasses, gangly limbs, goofy smiles, hair sticking up in places, sticky-outy ears. heartthrob material. they were with their dad. dad had this look on his face like... sort of a cross between trying not to laugh and trying not to roll his eyes and pretending with his whole might that he wasn't paying any attention. i liked it. oh i liked the whole thing!

and oh, they went on!

"mmmm. i really like this flavor combination."

"these are man-sized slices!"

"i know why the spanishes call it football... you kick the BALL with your FOOT!"

and finally:

"i can't even finish this! but someday... (his voice takes on a tone of reverence) someday i'll be able to eat a whooole slice."

i thought to myself... NOW THIS IS A BLOG POST!
you know, as you sometimes do.
(and now, here we are!)

sooooo... it was at this point that i glanced down and saw THIS:

whaaaaat? 

obviously the only thing for me to do now was push that stroller as far north as i could possibly go, just to see how far that would be.

i don't know. it seemed like a good idea at the time.

we'd made it about 50 blocks before i got kind of bored with it and we turned around. 

it was a little anticlimactic, actually. 

by the time we made it home we'd logged a solid 100 blocks together, me and huck and that dang old stroller. 

and later that night on our anniversary date, brandon and i added 50 blocks to my total--FOR ALL OF WHICH I WAS IN HEELS. 

and so. if there were a graceful way to end this nonsense? 

the end.
